How do I contact the shelter about Tinchen?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tinchen on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tinchen if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Tinchen already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Tinchen isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tinchen and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Tinchen

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

EKH Tinchen was successfully rehomed to Draschwitz on 15.02.2016. As a later solitary animal, she may decide for herself how much contact she wants with fellow animals or not. ………………………………………. My name is Tinchen. I am female, spayed and born around 2014. I have been waiting for a new home since the end of 2015. This is what my caregivers say about me: Tinchen was a stray who settled in a neighboring village with kind-hearted rescuers who took care of her until there was space for her here. Tinchen is an especially beautiful cat, cuddly and affectionate, but with the typical cat independence. A little diva sleeps inside Tinchen. She shows affection and cuddles, but she usually stays discreetly in the background when visitors come and is often overlooked. She gets along with fellow animals, but we could also imagine a home without other animals. You should expect some adjustment time if you want to offer Tinchen a new home. She is looking for a household that provides our lady the appropriate pampering and ideally allows her to have free run. Or a secure balcony so that Madame can feel the wind brush past her beautiful nose. Who will give the loving and initially shy little cat a chance and grant her her own home? The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal may develop differently in its new home. This cat needs outdoor access.

EKH Tinchen konnte am 15.02.2016 erfolgreich nach Draschwitz vermittelt werden. Als späterer Einzelgänger darf sie als Einzelprinzessin selbst entscheiden, wieviel Kontakt sie zu Artgenossen möchte oder nicht. ………………………………………. Mein Name ist Tinchen. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und circa 2014 geboren. Ich warte seit Ende 2015 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Tinchen war eine Streunerin, die sich in einem Nachbardorf bei tierlieben Findern angesiedelt hat und die sie versorgten, bis bei uns Platz war. Tinchen ist eine ausgesprochen hübsche Katze, verschmust und lieb, allerdings mit dem katzentypischen Eigensinn. Eine kleine Diva schlummert in Tinchen. Sie schmust und kuschelt, allerdings hält sie sich bei Besuch dezent im Hintergrund und wird daher gern mal übersehen. Sie kommt mit Artgenossen zurecht, wir könnten uns jedoch auch ein Zuhause ohne Artgenossen vorstellen. Mit etwas Eingewöhnungszeit muss man rechnen, wenn man Tinchen ein neues Zuhause bieten möchte. Sie sucht einen Haushalt, der unserer Lady das entsprechende Verwöhnprogramm anbietet und ihr im Idealfall Freigang gewähren kann. Oder einen gesicherten Balkon, damit Madame sich den Wind um das hübsche Näschen wedeln lassen kann. Wer gibt der lieben und anfänglich zurückhaltenden Miez eine Chance und schenkt ihr ihr eigenes Zuhause? Die Beschreibungen sind Eindrücke und Aufnahmen des Tieres in unserem Tierheim und unserer Pflegestellen. Jedes Tier kann sich im neuen Zuhause anders entwickeln.

About Tinchen

What life with Tinchen looks like

Tinchen is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
